It might be wiser to think-nationally-on terms of prevention of these diseases rather than treatment. That's what happened in the case of lung cancer; rather than look for a cure, people stopped smoking, and the lung cancer rate is plummeting. Lung transplants are not very practical.
I'm not totally convinced that eating meat is bad for you, but I'm not going to wait for absolute proof that it is either; it'll be too late then. I would say that it's a good idea to get off feedlot-raised cattle. Grass-fed beef is available at natural food stores at about double the price of feedlot cattle, and it's probably worth it to prevent health problems in the future. One problem is that we can't trust any government agency to level with us. The FDA is bought and paid for, and the USDA was rendered impotent by the Reagan administration. The USDA no longer inspects meat in slaughter houses, at least their inspection is severly limited to spot checking now and then. Plant employees do the inspecting; this means illegal aliens. Anybody can learn to spot gross disease in animal carcasses, but illegal aliens walk on thin ice; their jobs are just temporary in any one plant, and rejecting too much meat puts them out of a job.
And here I am reading right along with you, nodding my head and wondering WHY you want to insist that eating vegetarian or vegan puts them in an extremely healthy body simply because of their diet...
I think almost the same way as you do.
I know the FDA is not to be relied on.
I know that the basics of what we are told is a healthy diet is actually what is killing us
I know that the vast majority of diseases today are directly related to the chemicals in our diet.
I know that all of these chemicals have been so called tested and retested to prove safety, yet majority of the food in america is banned in other countries. No one will purchase our milk for example. Too loaded with chemicals. No real food left.
I know all of this stuff
and I was agreeing with you right up to the point where you began to make it a racist thing.
That. was the absolute , most idiotic thing I have ever read.
it does not MATTER what race you are when you work in a place like that.
You are given outlines on how to test. You DO IT just as you are told.
Those outlines are created by the meat industry and are the bare minimum required to KEEP THEIR product being sold to everyone every day because they have also backed and funded the very advertisement you see ten million times a day that says the food pyramid tells you to eat meat 3 times a day .
They create this bullshit. They create its "safety parameters" so people dont stop buying and consuming it.
That has nothing to do with race. If you really believe ( and know) that the government agencies do NOT tell the truth then you should not come to a conclusion that involves RACE around an industry as big as the beef industry. Come on
